Talk:1709

years page layout
I have made some year layout proposals which would affect a significant proportion of the year pages: an example of proposed style is 1850. It is detailed on my talk page. However pre 1800 the change is largely cosmetic.

If no-one flags where I have put the discussion on my talk page that they object in a month I will start making everything consistent. It may take some time... --(talk)BozMo 16:38, 11 May 2004 (UTC)

Which calendar?
The Battle of Poltava is listed under its then-date rather than under its new-style date. Is there a Wikipedia policy on events like this that took place in a place that had a different date (in this case two different dates) from how we now date them? Kdammers (talk) 01:51, 8 March 2014 (UTC)
